National Assembly of Venezuela

The National Assembly (Spanish: Asamblea Nacional) is the federal legislature of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, which was first elected in 2000 under the 1999 constitution. It is a unicameral body made up of a variable number of members, who are elected by a "universal, direct, personal, and secret" vote partly by direct election in state-based voting districts, and partly on a state-based party-list proportional representation system. Each of the 23 States and the Capital District elects no less than three representatives plus the result of dividing the state population by 1.1% of the total population of the country. Three seats are reserved for representatives of Venezuela's indigenous peoples and elected separately by all citizens, not just those with indigenous backgrounds. For the 2010 to 2015 the number of seats was 165. Deputies to the National Assembly serve a five-year term and may be re-elected for a maximum of two consecutive terms. The National Assembly meets in the Federal Legislative Palace in Venezuela's capital, Caracas.

  Skip to content Watch Live Advertisement # Venezuela crisis: Maduro loyalists take control of parliament In Venezuela, a new National Assembly has been sworn in which is dominated by lawmakers from President Nicolás Maduro's United Socialist Party (PSUV). Until now, the National Assembly had been the only major institution not controlled by the PSUV party. The coalition led by his party won 256 out of 277 seats in the election held in December, which most opposition candidates boycotted. [...] Nevertheless, the opposition-controlled National Assembly was a thorn in Mr Maduro's side. Under Venezuela's constitution, the government needs the assembly's approval to ratify international treaties and to sign major contracts with foreign companies. Mr Maduro therefore made regaining control of the National Assembly his government's main priority. [...] Members of the socialist party had earlier carried portraits of independence hero Simón Bolívar and late President Hugo Chávez into the National Assembly building. Mr Rodríguez said that the National Assembly loyal to Mr Maduro would strive to promote "national dialogue" to heal the deep divisions in Venezuela between those who support the Mr Maduro and those who want to see him removed from office.
